    Verdict

    It’s hard to see Barney Boy or Mari Me Oscar getting involved here unless something happens to the other pair and BAGAD BIHOUE should be far too good for recent Towcester winner Rakaia Rosa, despite conceding 7lb. Paul Nicholls’ six-year-old has done much of his winning in small fields and survived a mid-race blunder to beat a couple of promising novices on his chasing bow at Kempton.
